raven, to piracy in it sure beats having to buy it, but seriously come on...

I hope this sentiment never stops someone from uploading a textbook without OCR. Once it’s scanned it can always be OCRed at a later time.

raven, to linux in Dual Booting: How in god's name?!

Apparently I’m wrong and Pop_Os uses systemD-boot not GRUB, which is surprising to me because unless things have changed I’ve always thought of systemD-boot as being underpowered for a lot of use cases.

If I’m reading the wiki correctly here, I think it’s saying systemd-boot cannot launch windows because it’s on another drive? wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-boot#Boot_from_a…

But on the other hand it’s interesting that it’s able to “see” the windows partition so I might be completely wrong.

Well it’s there at least. Hmm. I don’t know a whole lot about windows but you can certainly get back to those boot options you saw before by pressing shift while booting, which will open the GRUB options. I’d give the windows boot manager another shot from there.

If that ends up working you can change the grub settings to wait for input instead of automatically booting pop. If that doesn’t work then something is probably wrong with windows and I would just try reinstalling since it sounds like you don’t have anything on there yet.

From Pop_OS, if you launch the “disks” program, can you see the other drive there, and the NTFS windows partition on it?

This “you can’t Forward your own ports” shit needs to be made illegal. It’s cutting off your ability to run your own service and making everyone a passive consumer on the Internet if you aren’t one of the big tech companies.

Is it a linux box, and if so would you be able to ssh into this box? You could rename them that way right?

Depending on how old it might be another method. Some have a switch somewhere, or a specific screw. Check out mrchromebox’s page.

And yeah you just boot it with the battery disconnected once and it disables the write protect!

And if you open it up and unplug the battery, then boot off the charger that disables the write protect and you can install actual linux, though a lot of chromebooks have unique hardware that might not be supported, particularly audio IME.

I used to have a dell chromebook 11, and with bitmap fonts it was actually a pretty slick little computer for <$100.

raven, to memes in Modern Life Is Perfect

I’m coming into my 30s now sort of going the opposite direction you are. From my perspective I’m realizing that I missed out on creative expression until now because I subconsciously realized it wasn’t a “practical option” that I couldn’t afford, so I’m waking up to the fact that I’ve lived my life up to this point as a STEM bro type missing out on a huge spectrum of experiences, and it makes me feel robbed.

I want to live in a fucking treehouse for a month, with a rope ladder, and a Zipline.

Thanks for the warning, didn’t know that was a thing!

Oh really? I didn’t know they made it without. I just checked mine and it says it has >100% of all the b complex vitamins in a serving (2 tbsp). I do live in the US but I got mine online.

Once you discover nutritional yeast it’s hard not to get enough B12.

raven, to memes in Vegan food: The west vs India

When people complain about vegan diets lacking in x, y, or z I always point out that our diets are culturally balanced, as well as being balanced by the addition of vitamins to staple foods. If we all became deficient in say, iron, we would start fortifying iron in our water, flour, salt, rice etc, while at the same time we would culturally move towards eating more black beans and spinach than we currently do. When an individual removes a food group from their diet, it’s only reasonable that you will have to intentionally rebalance your diet in other places. This isn’t a deficiency inherent in a vegan diet.

If you have to supplement a vitamin or mineral that’s just part of your diet, so don’t @ me with your natural=good nonsense.
